Leslie Jordan was honored with a touching tribute during Thursday night’s episode of Fox‘s Call Me Kat, after the actor and comedian died in a single-car crash in Hollywood at the age of 67 on Monday.
The tribute featured some of Jordan’s most memorable scenes from the sitcom, as well as his appearances on several of the network’s other shows including The Masked Singer, Fantasy Island, Lego Masters and The Cool Kids.
The video ended by assuring that Jordan would be “forever a part of the Fox family.”
According to the LAPD, a driver, likely suffering a medical emergency, drove a car into a wall at the intersection of Cahuenga Boulevard and Romaine Street at around 9:45 am PT.
